InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Eternal Curse ❯ Stealth ( Chapter 6 )

The Eternal Curse

Chapter Six:

Stealth

A/N: I decided to write another chapter today. Man, I have been busy! I just released Silver Firelight, the sequel to Decisions of the Heart and I have been writing chapters for my other three stories non stop. So, please, if I take a while to update, understand why.

Disclaimer: The usual. Me no own. So you no sue.

Notes for the story: Inuyasha and Kagome will not be falling in love super fast like all of my other stories, and neither will Miroku or Sango. So don't expect IMMEDIATE MAJOR FLUFF, but there will be a little bit in this chapter. Also, when Inuyasha says "bitch" think of female dog not the HUMAN kind.

Warning: Short chapter ahead.

Kagome woke early, still tired for last night, and not yet fully awake. She yawned, rubbed the sleep from her eyes and hopped from her bed. Scrounging for a brush she flopped out of bed and fell on her stomach.

"OW! Something tells me that today isn't going to be a very good one."

***

Miroku, Sango, and Inuyasha were already at the table, eating breakfast. Kagome slipped next to her friend and sighed.

"Rough night?"

"Uh-huh."

"Here, have some rice."

"Arigato!" she cried, picking up some chopsticks. "So, when are we going to start out next challenge?"

"Right after breakfast," Miroku replied, patting his face with a cloth napkin.

"What is it?"

"Stealth."

"Okay, here are the rules. Each of us will choose an item, set it up, and make a trap, so it is triggered if someone makes the wrong move. You win if you can successfully hoodwink your partner."

"And if you don't?"

"You lose. So what will everyone's items be? Mines will be my quill."

"My brush."

"Hey I was gonna do that Sango! Okay…uh…my library book."

"My gold ball."

"Alright, let's go!"

***
MIROKU

He found something to stack his quill on and found one of his old toys. A small bell that if you step on it, it would ring loudly and placed it by the quill.

"And when Sango jumps, she'll fall right into my arms!" Miroku cackled.

***

SANGO

She put her brush on her bed.

"Oh man! I suck at traps! Miroku is bound it win for sure! It sure wish Kagome-chan was here! She's great at this stuff!"

Deciding that a sucky trap was better than no trap, she put a pail at the foot of her bed and filled it with sticky honey.

"So if he steps on it, he'll get stuck!"

***
KAGOME

"That jerk is gonna pay! When I put up this trap he won't know what hit him!" Cackling, she wrapped some string around the book, and tied the other end to a bucket directly over top. She filled it with some light things…mainly rocks.

"It's payback time."

***

INUYASHA

"Kagome is so clumsy. It just needs to be something simple, primitive. Aha!" He tied some string between two pedestals right in front of his ball. It was thin twine of course, so it was nearly invisible. "That little bitch will fall so fast she won't even know what hit her!"

~*~

Sango was finished and was sure that she wouldn't fall for Miroku's trap. So, she snuck into his room, and saw the quill, in mint-condition on a pile of pillows. Cautiously, she tip-toed, but jumped ten feet in the air, trembling when a few, high-pitched rings sounded from under her. She latched onto the closest thing, which happened to be Miroku who had came out of hiding.

"Uh…"

"Ah, Sango my love, this means I win!"

"W-what the h-hell was t-that?" she managed to splutter.

"My bell of course. But calm down." He patted her arm.

"Now we're even in points."

"I guess so."

~*~

Miroku had given her a chance to go and hide when he decided to try out her trap. He found it and chuckled lightly, merely kicking the bucket aside and grabbing the prize.

~*~

Kagome tip-toed into Inuyasha's room. Just get in and get out! I have to do is find his ball…ah there it is! And LEAVE! Then rub it in his face. She was so wrapped up in her thoughts that she didn't notice the twine and winded up running into it and started to fall.

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh!" But, before she could hit the ground painfully, she landed in two, strong arms. She looked up and blushed. "I-Inuyasha?"

"Who else would it be, bitch?" he grumbled, failing to hide his smirk. Of course he liked his bitches submissive, but when Kagome struggled from his grasp, he got disappointed.

She brushed off her skirts and glared at him.

"Thanks…I guess."

"Aha! I win! Stupid wench!"

"STOP CALLING ME THAT!"

"NO!"

"YES!

"NO!"

"YES!"

"Fine, just go hide so I can beat your stupid trap."

~*~

When Inuyasha snuck into Kagome's room, he sighed. It smelled wonderful to him…jasmine and honey, but he quickly shook off the thought. He could see the little string that was connected to the book. He knew the rules of the TFCs. If the trap hurt you or scared you in any way then you lost. So, bringing up a skilled hand, he snapped the string and dodged the rocks that fell from the bucket.

Kagome came from her hiding place, face red with anger, crossing her arms over her chest, pouting.

"Hey, that's no fair!" He smirked again, eyes filled with gentle laughter.

"What did you expect, wench? I'm a hanyou."

"But-"

"Ha! That means I win!" he sneered arrogantly, just to pick her off.

"That's no fair!"

"Didn't you already say that?"

"OUT!"

"Fine, be that way…bitch!"

"OUT!" She chucked a pillow at him, he dodged, and coolly slipped from the room.

Kagome sighed loudly, blowing up some loose strands of hair.

"This is going to be harder than I thought," she mumbled, massaging her temples.

Sorry, this chapter is only 987 words, much less than usual, but I really couldn't think of anything better to write. Anyway, remember to review, god knows this story needs them, and…stay tuned for the next chapter, Weapons or something like that. Aloha!
